Voice actor Olivia Olson, who plays Marceline, revealed at a recent book-signing for The Adventure Time Encyclopedia, that yes indeed-y, Marceline and Princess Bubblegum had a brief stint as a couple and this comes straight from creator Pendleton Ward himself. So it's basically canon, if you care about that sort of thing.

At the signing, Olson said she was talking with Ward, figuring out characater motivation and other kind of actor-y things, regarding a scene between her and Princess Bubblegum. When he said to her, "You know they dated, right?"

So there you have it. No wonder Princess Bubblegum isn't that into Finn. She's been with Marceline. After you've been with a vampire queen, it's hard to get with a kid who wears a bear hat and sleeps in a treehouse with his dog. Hell, even I wouldn't do it and I'd kill to live in a treehouse.

Thanks to steph, who wants the dirt on who Lumpy Space Princess used to date.

Cute-ish? i guess, but saying it's a past thing is clever, given we don't have to see it shoehorned. I'd actually prefer a friendship, nothing wrong with being close without having to be perverse in what could be a healthy relationship.

Finn was in love with PB, but PB was never in love with Finn.. she has a soft spot for him but it's been made clear that she will never be involved with him.

I need Marceline to sing more. I need an Adventure Time series OST.... Ok GW, I'm sorry I kept barking up your tree about all the GoT & Disney Princess articles you post. I'll still bark at them, but from now on I'll feel a tinge of sorrow when I do so.

Is this like TOTALLY canon? Cuz like, maybe Ward's idea was for Olivia to ACT like she used date PB. In any case, I approve, since it's neither for perversion nor for social justice.Now for canon lesbian scenes!

social justice...wut? Then you took it to perversion: making yourself a hypocrite AND biggot.
